ICS January 2024 Employee Spotlight

Congratulations, Ms. Reed, middle school science and STEM teacher

How long have you been at ICS and what do you do?

Ms. Reed

I've been at ICS for 1.5 years (since August 2022) and I mainly teach middle school science and STEM (plus a new computer programming class, a creative writing class, and a high school physics study group)!

What brought you to ICS?

I came to ICS to begin a teaching career after many years in academic research. It's been a joy getting to see middle schoolers learn and make science fun for them.

What is one encouraging thing that has happened at school recently that you'd like to share?

Something that I find encouraging is hearing that my students are learning to like science more, when they may not have been as invested in the subject before. I appreciate they're willing to give my favorite subject a second chance!

What is your deep hope for your students and/or our school this year?

My deep hope is to build foundational knowledge, encourage creativity, and promote perseverance by engaging with God's world, resulting in increased awe and wonder of our Creator.
